The two areas Jefferson County Open Space intends to close in Clear Creek Canyon, shown on the attached maps, encompass the active eagle nests. If the Clear Creek eagles continue to nest in the active nests, these areas will remain closed from February 1 through July 31. If the eagles choose different nesting sites, the closures will be adjusted accordingly to protect those eagles during their breeding season.
Currently, rock climbing areas that fall inside of the seasonal raptor closures include:
Blonde Formation
Bumbling Stock
Evil Area
Ghost Crag
Highlander
Skinny Legs
Stumbling Block
Tetanus Garden
Fault Caves
Description
This line features a wildly exposed rail traverse near the top. Unfortunately the start (as intended) is loose, but this can be avoided by climbing the first 2 bolts of Aftermathematics and traversing left to join this route at the third bolt. In the business, the rock is relatively solid, though dirty in spots.
Nevertheless, the movement is fantastic, featuring a sequential, gymnastic rail traverse that grows in exposure as you inch left, culminating in an exciting mantel to a good rest. A few more pumpy moves work out the 45-degree overhang along a right-facing flake. When the flake ends, grope up rounded granite jugs to the anchor.
Protection
6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. A stick clip is mandatory. Stick clip the 2nd bolt, or traverse in from Aftermathematics.
